IRVING, TEXAS—In an attempt to cut the franchise's losses and "move forward in a positive direction," the Dallas Cowboys severed ties with controversial owner Jerry Jones Monday, ending their tumultuous 20-year relationship with the divisive figure.

According to sources within the Cowboys organization, the decision to release Jones was influenced by the lack of any playoff victories in more than 12 years, the owner's distracting sideline antics, and his selfish, "me first" attitude, which many said was having a cancerous effect on the clubhouse.

"We value Jerry's contributions to the Cowboys over the past two decades, but it has become painfully clear that we just don't share the same priorities," Cowboys public relations director Richard Dalrymple said. "This wasn't an easy choice to make, but we're confident it is a decision that can only make our team better."

When I lived in Dallas, this was the conversation in some way every year. I think everyone up there has realized by now that Jerry is there to stay and make the decisions, but it has to be so difficult to accept about your team. :)

On a more serious note, but still funny.

As good as the fake jerry Jones it was better when they did the fake Wade with him. The fake Jason Garrett is quality also.

Fake Wade and Jerry together were great! Fake Garrett is spot on! Every time I hear Garrett speak, he sounds just like Gordo's version. I have a feeling if the Texans do anything in the playoffs, fake Wade may make a return appearance on the little Ticket. :)
